COMBINED FOLDING TABLE AND BED.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 517,607, dated April 3,1894. Applicationfiledlleoember 2, 1893. Serial No. 492,614- (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

- Be it known that I, Rosa ETTINGER, a citizen of the United States,residing in the city, county, and State of New York, have invented anewand useful Improvement in a Combined Folding Table and Bed, of which thefollowing, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, is aspecification.

The object of my invention is to combine in one article of furniture atable, a dressing case and desk and a bed, and to arrange these parts ina compact and convenient form in such way that either may be usedwithout the other.

The invention consists in the construction hereinafter set forth.

In the drawings, in which like letters designate similar partsthroughout, Figure 1 is a side elevation of my invention when arrangedin the form of a table. Fig. 2 is a front elevation thereof whenarranged in the form of a dressing case. Fig. 3 is a vertical sectionshowing the invention in the form of a dressing case with the bed pulledout. Fig. 4 is a vertical section of the foot-board of the bed. Fig.5 isavertical section of a detail" showing the head of the bed. Figs. 6 and7 show a modification.

be used to lock the section Bin vertical posi-- tion. Beneath thesurface of the section A is arranged a drawerF and a writing surface F.A mirror H is sunk into the section B below its surface and on the sidesof this mirror are doors G G, having mirrors on their inner sides andadapted to fold down over the mirror H. These doors are arranged to lieflush with the surface of the section, so that its surface will besmooth when the section is used as a table. Beneath the top of thesectionA is a casing J, extending around" three sides. A bed K,comprising the folding side rails is casing by means of trunnions Z andslots m,

cut in the sides of the casing, at the lower ends of which the trunnionsrest. The outer end of the bed is supported by the legs L, to which arehinged at n the folding foot board M, which is normally held in verticalposition by the turn button 0, or any suitable fastening. The foot boardis provided on its outer side with folding legs M. this foot board maybe let down into horizon tal position to constitute an extension of thebed. When the bed is to be folded into its casing J, it is pushed inwardand the trunnions Z move upward on the curve of the slots m, the weightsP, through the cords p which pass over the pulleys 1), serving to pullthe inner end of the section K up into vertical position. The sectionsand k" then fold up into vertical position and the foot board Mcovers'the open side of the casing J.

In Figs. 6 and 7 is shown a modification, in which part of the top ofthe sectionA' is hinged at a and carries the writing surface F, so thatit may be turned up into vertical position to As thus arranged permit offree Ventilation at the head of the bed. The casing j does not extend sonear the floor as in Fig. 1 and one or more drawers F are located at oneside of the bed.

Various changes may of course be made by one skilled in the art withoutdeparting from the spirit of my invention.

Having thusdescribed my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecureby Letters Patent, is v 1. The combination of two table sectionshinged together, one of said sections being adapted to be turned into avertical position to form a dressing case,-and so arranged that when itis turned down into a horizontal position the face of the dressing casesection forms with the other section a table surface and a folding bedsupported at one end by the other of said table sections and adapted tobe folded thereunder, substantially as set forth.

2. The combination of a table provided at one end with a casing J ,afolding bed suptical position when the bed is let down, and adapted tobe unfolded to a horizontal position to form an extension for the bedand closing the casingJ when the bed is folded in into the casing,substantially as set forth.

3. In a folding bed, the combination of a casing, open on one side,folding side rails supported at one end by the casing and adapted tofold into the casing through its open side, a folding foot-board adaptedto be turned from its normal vertical position,whioh it occupies whenthe bed is let down to a horizontal position to form an extension of thebed and when in its vertical position adapted to close the open side ofthe casing when the bed is folded thereinto, substantially as set forth.

4. The combination of two table sections A and B hinged together, saidsection B being provided with folding legs and adapted to be turned to avertical position to form with the section A a dressing case, thesection B being so arranged that when it is turned down into ahorizontal position the face thereof forms with the section A atablesurface, a bed comprising folding side rails and a folding footboardsupported at one end beneath the section A and adapted to foldthereunder, sub stantially as set forth.

5. The combination of two table sections hinged together, one of saidsections being adapted to be turned into avertical position to form adressing case,--and so arranged that when it is turned down into ahorizontal position the face of the dressing case section forms with theother section a table surface and a folding bed supported at one end bythe other of said table sections and adapted to be folded thereunder,the top of the second mentioned table section being hinged to fold upinto vertical position, substantially as set forth.

6. The combination of a table provided at one end with a casing beneaththe top of the table, the top of the table above the casing being hingedto fold into vertical position and forming, when in horizontal position,the cover for said casing, and a folding bed supported by the casing andadapted to fold thereinto, the bed being provided with a foldingfootboard normally occupying a vertical position when thebed is let downand adapted to be turned down into a horizontal position to form anextension of the bed and adapted to close the casing when the bed isfolded thereinto, substantially as set forth.
